Since the banquet at Huangliang Platform, Jiang Wang and Zuo Guangshu have not stepped out of the Duke's mansion.
They are engaged in daily cultivation, sparring, and conditioning.
All for the sake of entering the Mountain and Sea Realm in the most perfect state.

However, as his strength grew, these friends gradually became less helpful...
More often, he would reflect on himself through constant battles to find his shortcomings and improve.
